The Hutongs

The Hutongs are small communities of "middle class" Chinese. However, you can tell in these pictures middle class doesn't quite describe it. We were honored to meet Mr. Wong, who opens up his home to tourists where they can visit his traditional Chinese home and see how he lives. We rode to his home via rickshaw and could see the city streets of the oldest part of Beijing. Such a humbling experience.
